Scholarship Application Form: Download

In June at the CPCA Annual Meeting, the Connecticut Police Foundation will award (2) $1,000 to deserving active police officers in Connecticut who want to further their education in criminal justice. The $1,000 checks, donated by Motorola, go to the winners of the Allen Ervin Memorial Scholarship and the John Manfredi/Motorola Criminal Justice Scholarship as determined by the Awards Committee.

 

Because the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association was instrumental in starting the scholarship program, we would like you as police chief to participate actively in the process of selecting the winners. We are asking you to:

 

1.            Announce the scholarship at roll call(s) in your department.

2.            Post details of the scholarship program on your department's bulletin board or email to members of your department. The information can be downloaded from the CPCA website, www.cpcanet.org.

3.            Collect, review, and evaluate scholarship applications from your department in order to recommend the most deserving applicant (one only) from your P.D.

4.            Forward the application you select to the Awards Committee by April 16 for final determination of the 2012 scholarship winners.

 

In recommending an officer from your department, you should consider financial need and the candidate's dedication to law enforcement. Applications can not be accepted without your written recommendation.

 

To provide general information about the scholarship for you and your officers, we are attaching a general information sheet, an application form and an financial aid form. Please duplicate these forms to make them available to interested officers.

 

Remember: The application of your department's nominee with your recommendation and signature must be submitted before April 16, 2012. Thank you for your help.
